The World&#39s Biggest Family世界上最大的家庭Mr. and Mrs. Albina don&#39t know where all their grown-up children are living now.阿宾娜夫妇不知道他们已成年的孩子们现在在哪里生活。They aren&#39t sure how old all their children are either.

Mrs. Albina now has 16 more girls, including the twins who are 15 months old.阿宾娜太太现在有16多个女儿，包括5个月大的双胞胎。The oldest Albina children are in their 30s and 40s.

Kepler&#39s World开普勒的世界Much has been made of the 400th anniversary this year of Galileo pointing a telescope at the moon and jotting down what he saw.400年前伽利略用望远镜观测月球并简要记录了观测结果，400年后的今天我们很隆重地纪念了这一历史性事件。But 2009 is also the 400th anniversary of the publication by Johannes Kepler,a German mathematicia

And it&#39s why, over the last eight years, we&#39ve modernized the government&#39s approach to innovation for the 21st Century.也因此,在过去的8年里,我们让政府在21世纪的创新方式上现代化。We&#39ve jumpstarted a clean energy revolution and unleashed the potential of precision medicine.我们快速启动了清洁能源革命,释放了精密医学的潜力。We&#39ve partnered

That&#39s why it&#39s so backward when some folks choose to stick their heads in the sand about basic scientific facts.也因此,当一些人就基本的科学事实都逃避现实,是如此的落后。It&#39s not just that they&#39re saying that climate change a hoax or trotting out a snowball on the Senate floor.不仅仅他们在说,气候变化是骗局,或者在参议院炫耀冬天的雪球。It&#39s

Hi everybody. On Thursday, I traveled to Pittsburgh for the White House Frontiers Conference,大家好。周四,我来到匹斯堡参加白宫前沿大会。where some of America&#39s leading minds came together在那里,一些美国的领袖人物聚在一起,to talk about how we can empower our people through science to lead our communities, our country, and our world i

Children&#39s Eyes孩子眼中的世界What kind of world is it my friend that little children see?朋友，透过孩子的眼睛他们看到的是怎样的世界I wonder if they see God first because they just believe?我不知道他们最先看到的，是不是上帝因为他们相信上帝Do they see strength in caring eyes who watch them as they play在玩耍的时候，他们有没有透过那些关爱的眼里看到力量or maybe love through ge

When I&#39m sitting in the Multi-faith Centre at the Athlete&#39s Village I can look around at the diverse representation of humanity I am with. We are men and women, younger and older from almost every continent. Some are very fit world class athletes and others of us, me included, are slightly ove

I&#39ve been thinking a lot about the world recently and how it&#39s changed over the last 20, 30, 40 years.最近我常常思考我们的世界以及它在过去的20，30，40年里经历了何等的转变。Twenty or 30 years ago, if a chicken caught a cold and sneezed and died in a remote village in East Asia,20或30年前，如果在东亚一个遥远村落里，一只鸡患了感冒，打个喷嚏然后死了，it would ha

This is clearly not a good arrangement. We clearly need to change it.这明显不是个良好的形势。我们明显需要改变现状。We clearly need to find ways of encouraging countries to start working together a little bit better.我们明显需要找到一些方式以鼓励国家之间可以共同合作得更好。And why won&#39t they do that? Why is it that our leaders still persist in look

So a couple of years ago, I thought I would take some time out and speak to that gigantic database and ask it,所以几年以后，我认为我可以抽出些时间来跟那个庞大的数据库聊聊，问问它，why do some people prefer one country more than another?为什么有些人相比于另一个国家，更喜欢一个国家？And the answer that the database gave me completely staggered me. It was 6.8

Now that&#39s the Good Country Index. What&#39s it there for?这就是好国家指数。它有什么目的？Well, it&#39s there really because I want to try to introduce this word, or reintroduce this word, into the discourse.它存在的目的是因为我想尝试，想介绍这个词，或重新介绍这个词，在我们的语境中。I&#39ve had enough hearing about competitive countries.我已经听够了有竞争力的国

But actually, aren&#39t most of us not really so very good at empathy?但事实上，我们大多数人难道不是缺乏同情心吗？Oh sure, we&#39re very good at empathy when it&#39s a question of dealing with people who kind of look like us当然，我们非常有同情心，当问题出在那些跟我们长得差不多，and kind of walk and talk and eat and pray and wear like us,走路、说话和祈祷的方

That&#39s what I would like you to do, and I&#39d like you to use it as a stick with which to beat your politicians.这是我希望你做的，我希望你用它当一根棍子来鞭策你的政党。When you elect them, when you reelect them, when you vote for them, when you listen to what they&#39re offering you,当你选举他们或重选他们的时候，当你为他们投票，听他们说他们能给你带来什么的时候，

Now the other thing you&#39ll notice about the top 10 there is,另外一件你注意到的前十名的事情是，of course, they&#39re all, apart from New Zealand, Western European nations.当然，除了新西兰以外，它们都是欧州国家。They&#39re also all rich. This depressed me,它们也很富有。这让我很沮丧，because one of the things that I did not want to discover with thi

And you&#39re waiting for me to tell you which one comes top.你在等我告诉你哪个国家是第一名。And I&#39m going to tell you, but first of all I want to tell you precisely what I mean when I say a good country.我会告诉你，但首先让我告诉你我对于一个好国家的精确定义是什么。I do not mean morally good.我并不是说道德上的好。When I say that Country X is the goodest

And so you may say, well, given all of that, why then doesn&#39t it work?你可能说，就算这样，为什么不奏效呢？Why can we not make our politicians change? Why can&#39t we demand them?为什么我们无法让政党改变？为什么我们无法要求他们？Well I, like a lot of us, spend a lot of time complaining about how hard it is to make people change,我，就像我们中间许多人

So in a nutshell, that&#39s the challenge that we all face today at this interesting point in history.所以简单来说，这就是我们所有人今天面临的挑战，在这个有意思的历史时期。That&#39s clearly what we&#39ve got to do next.这很明显是我们接下来要做的。We&#39ve somehow got to get our act together and we&#39ve got to figure out how to globalize the solut

Do you think the world is going to be a better place next year? In the next decade?你们觉得明年这个世界会变的更好吗？未来十年呢？Can we end hunger, achieve gender equality, halt climate change, all in the next 15 years?我们能不能解决饥饿问题，实现性别平等，停止气候变化，让所有这些都在未来15年内实现？Well, according to the governments of the world, yes we can.那么

How much? Enough to get us to the Global Goals?我们要取得多少进步来到达全球目标呢？Well, let&#39s look at some numbers.咱们来看看这些数字。What we know already: the world today is scoring 61 on social progress, and the place we want to get to is 75.我们已经知道：当今世界的平均社会进步值是61分，我们想要达到的目标是75分。If we rely on economic growth alone, we&#

The Social Progress Index sums all this together using 52 indicators to create an aggregate score on a scale of 0 to 100.“社会进步指数”用52个指标把这些都集中到了一起，算出了一个百分制的总分。And what we find is that there&#39s a wide diversity of performance in the world today.然后我们发现了今天的世界上的国家有各种各样的成绩。The highest performing country

But that ain&#39t easy, because the Global Goals aren&#39t just ambitious, they&#39re also pretty complicated.这并不容易，因为这些全球目标不仅仅很宏大，它们同样也很复杂。Over 17 goals, there are then 169 targets and literally hundreds of indicators.17个大目标下有169个小目标，并且不夸张地说，还有好几百个指标。Also, while some of the goals are pretty specifi

Let me show you on this chart.我来给你们看下这张图。So here on the vertical axis, I&#39ve put social progress, the stuff the Global Goals are trying to achieve.我把社会进步放在这张图的纵轴上，这就是全球目标要努力实现的东西。Higher is better. And then on the horizontal axis, is GDP per capita.越高越好。在横轴上的是人均国内生产总值。Further to the right means ric

Now this seems a bit strange. Economic growth seems to have really helped in the fight against poverty,这看起来就有点奇怪了。经济的增长看起来对解决贫穷问题帮助很大，but it doesn&#39t seem to be having much impact on trying to get to the Global Goals.但它似乎并不能对我们达到全球目标有多大的帮助。So what&#39s going on? Well, I think there are two things.

What that tells us, quite simply, is that GDP is not destiny.这也就很明确地告诉了我们，国内生产总值不是决定性的因素。We have countries that are underperforming on social progress, relative to their wealth.世界上有一些比较富有，然而社会进步得分比较低的国家。Russia has lots of natural resource wealth, but lots of social problems.俄罗斯有很多自然资源财富，但同时也有很多社会问题。

But please, I invite you to suspend your disbelief for just a moment.但是我建议你先搁置你的怀疑一小会儿。Because back in 2001, the UN agreed another set of goals, the Millennium Development Goals.因为回到2001年，那时联合国也同意了另一系列的目标，就是千年发展目标。And the flagship target there was to halve the proportion of people living in poverty

Thank you, Michael. Michael, just one question: the Millennium Development Goals established 15 years ago,谢谢你，Michael。Michael，我就问一个问题：千年发展目标是15年前确立的，they were kind of applying to every country but it turned out to be really a scorecard for emerging countries.当时基本上每个国家都选择要实现这个目标，然而它却真的变成了新兴国家的记分牌。Now

And I want to finish by showing you a way to do that, called the People&#39s Report Card.我想给你们展示一种可行的方法来结束这个演讲，这个方法叫做“人民成绩单”。The People&#39s Report Card brings together all this data“人民成绩单”把所有的数据into a simple framework that we&#39ll all be familiar with from our school days, to hold them to account.
